Hoop 'n Holla basketball game

I received mine today. Pics:

The ball (http://www.fosters-home.com/merch/images/hoopball.jpg)
Craig's signature (blurry, sorry) (http://www.fosters-home.com/merch/images/hoopsig.jpg)

The ball talks when it's slammed against a surface (or when the box is jiggled, lol what they must have thought when they were delivering it). He says "Nothin' but net," "Baaasketball" and "OOOWWWW!" (lol). According to the package he also says "Nice shot, dorkface" but maybe my ball doesn't want to offend me...

Unfortunately when hung over a door, the door cannot close, so I really have no place to keep this until I rig up a way to hang it on a wall.

Heh heh, neato. I think it's nice, how the ball talks. :bloocross:

[AprilDawn]

So does it actually sound like Bloo?

[Sparky]

Oh yeah, its definitely Keith Fergusen. 8-)

The "Baaaasketball" quote is...weird though. It's an odd quote in the first place, and he sounds like he's mesmorised or something, lol.

[Sparky]

Okay, now he's saying lots more things - maybe he just had to be broken in? I dunno. It was only the three I listed before for the first few hours I played with him. So he also says so far:

"Awesome!"
"Nice shot, dorkface!"
"I'm a b-ballin' free-fallin' Bloo!"
a "BOING!" noise - a noise, not the word
Something that I must not be hearing right, it sounds like "How's it taken, shakey?" Maybe someone else knows what it means.

Aw, that is really cute! I'm jealous ;)

Is the Bloo ball covered in plushy material or in that really soft silky stuff they make the bean-bag pillows out of?

While "How's it taken, shakey" is kind of strange, I'd not doubt it was something similar to that... maybe "How's it shakin', shakey?" ???

The bean-bag type material.

And maybe it's "shakin'", but I dunno what a "shakey" is, and that's *really* what it sounds like. :P

[One Radical Dude]

Shakey, maybe it's some IF we've never heard of? :P 8D

[AprilDawn]

Or maybe he is making fun of you being nervous and shaking when you try and shoot. Kinda lame, but its the only thing I can think of.
What? He does call you dorkface!

Ooh la la. Very nice indeed. It's always pleasing to see some Wilt merchandise. :D

I'll be keeping an eye for it from now on, though I'm not sure if I could justify buying one guilt-free, since I already have at least three of those miniature basketball games stashed away in my cupboard somewhere, obtained from various goody bags as a kid. Still, none of them have Wilt on them...

[pitbulllady]

Neat! That would be worth the price just for the Wilt basketball net to hang on a door alone!

Cool Itemz. :D :D

I saw that over at TJ Max last month. I didn't buy it, though, but only because if I bought it, I wouldn't know where to put it, and also because I was starting to run short on money (I was at the MovieStop next to the store buying Recess DVDs). :P

Though when I saw it...it wasn't Wilt, but it was Cheese! :cheese: And the packaging was different as well. The background to the package was an exterior shot of the house. I'm guessing it was a rare variant version (like when you buy a toy and the coloring is different then what's on the box).

[KazooBloo]

Do you still play it, Sparky?

[Sparky]

Ha ha actually I finally got around to putting all my Foster's stuff on display in our new house the other day, I still gotta find this game and put it up on the door. I'm not sure where its stored.

This is the one that was on CN that had Wilt in the laundry room playing basketball with the laundry and washing machines, right?

I don't recall that...the pictures of this toy are in the first post in this thread.

[KazooBloo]

I'm mistaken. I was thinking of Wilt's Wash-N-Swoosh.
